 What's up everybody? Trying to find where my feet is online? There I am You know hear me? Yep right I Hope you're having an awesome day. We're going live early because the weather is really bad in Dallas And I don't know how long we're gonna have. I don't know if we're gonna have issues with the internet or power But just in case I am going live early So I don't know if you guys remember me doing these or some like these a few years ago But I wanted to revisit the pumpkin geodes that we did These I ordered off of Amazon They're just foam pumpkins That we are going to Make look like geoids So The set that I got comes in a set of one to three four six in size ranging from Whatever the size this is to or maybe six ish inches They weren't that expensive. They were um Less than twenty dollars. I can't remember but I Thought they'd be a cute crafty thing to do with you guys for this rainy day live What's up, Bowie? You just need to be in your spot. Okay You want to come up here come on my little director manual up. Thank you. Say hi. Hello Okay, right there lay down so Which do you guys think we should do I'm gonna do This size the big one. Should we do it playing Jane like this one where it's just one color on the inside or The one color on the inside with a glitter on the outside and some got on the inside. Whoops Or do like a multi tone one. What do you guys think? what we're going to use today for stickiness is the Artistic painting studio Sizing I just don't have any other glue So I'm gonna use this if you have any other glue it'd be fine to use An old raggedy paintbrush that you're okay with getting glue on and then throwing away probably because That's probably gonna happen an Xecto blade it be very careful with this because It's sharp and you will cut yourself. Hey stonecoats in here. What's up? so, yeah today we're going to be crafty and do some pumpkin geodes and I think after I may like mask the front off and Maybe res in the outside. We'll see. We'll see. We'll see. We'll see. So do you guys think two tone? One color or Multi-tone two tone definitely Cool, let's carve a pumpkin. I actually have a real pumpkin here that I just haven't Gotten into yet, but I'm going to even have a little tiny little tiny Bowie pumpkin here as well If you do want to use glitter then glitter and I'm using of course some glitter glass for The dimensional sparkle on the inside of our piece I'm gonna get down So yeah, that's what we're gonna use. I'm gonna use airbrush to color the inside of the pumpkin, but you could just paint with Like a hand paint as well. I Would recommend for anyone that's doing this for the first time to draw out what kind of shape you want on your pumpkin I'm just gonna go for it because like I said before. I don't know How long we may run out of power because it's stormy here. I don't know who's to say I don't know This is foam and so I'm kind of going in at an angle like this so that we can Make it more dimensional I'm not going straight in. I'm going in at an angle Like I said before, please be very careful when you're using exacto blades they are surgically sharp and If you have a dull one just switch it out like I should probably switch this one because I know I'm reckless Believe it or not, you can cut yourself a lot easier with a dull blade Then you can a sharp blade and I credit my husband for my knowledge of that. I Wouldn't have thought it but it's true So when you carve into it, I'm trying to make the The look kind of go from one side to the other and be kind of jaggedy You don't want straight lines at all because that's That's not geode. You is it probably not I Think I'm pretty sure that these are just like spray painted Foam pumpkins, maybe not spray painted Well, probably spray painted but after they get a coat of like regular paint on there because That's just what it feels like right now that we have our shape cut out BAM BAM I'm gonna use a something To kind of dig out What we got in there so have a trash can handy And I'm just going I don't know what the act I think this is like a weeding tool to get Stickers done but I'm just gonna kind of Pull this layer of paint off and That's going to show us the inside That we have cut so that's gonna be the shape of my geoid. I think it looks okay We think and then I'm just gonna get super reckless and start See my trash can I know it's fancy. I know it's super fancy The answer is no my nope can't do that either. So Yeah, you can see so I'm just going to Kind of go at it and pull out Some of the foam once you get it like broken up a little bit It's easier To kind of just pull it out but without having a place for you to get your hands in there To like start it, it's it can be difficult even though it's just a regular Busy foam actually you guys can't really see that. Well what I'm doing. So I'm gonna bring it over here This isn't the neatest cleanest part of the process This is the dirtiest part of the process or the messiest So just be advised and I'm wanting to leave some of this irregular texture in there because I Think that it looks the more like the inside of an actual geoid when you you leave some of that Jeff just vacuumed the studio today. So I'm trying not to get anything on this floor And I also think it looks really cool when you kind of go up under the lip a little bit So it's kind of up in there anytime you can vary or Alternate the depth in a piece. I think it looks more natural So you can see here where we initially cut it in it's at this kind of angle and We want that so that we can decide if we want the geode to go up under the lip of it Or kind of be still poking out a bit. I love doing things like this and I feel like it's an awesome little crafty project for when your kids are home for Halloween or maybe coming over for Thanksgiving. It doesn't have to be a Halloween Pumpkin it can be a Thanksgiving pumpkin They're not just for one holiday, right or no, all right, I think so Luckily this foam kind of flakes off and in a regular kind of look so it yields itself really well to the look of an inside of a geoid where all the rock crystal formations are kind of Jaggedy anyways. Oh my goodness. I need to calm down before it looks like I just have an apple core So we're gonna make this side kind of shallow But I still want it to have that jaggedy Look to it If you don't have something like those you could probably use like a fork instead So let's kind of dust out all of our Excess and see what we got So I went for like I just went for it because all like More than halfway around I went crazy on this one. Oops, okay So now here's inside of our geoid actually I think I want to have this little area like a lot deeper I'm gonna pluck out a little bit more here Maybe go like deeper into this area This part is all just preference Actually, I guess all of it is preference So did you guys decide if we wanted to go just two toned Blues or if we wanted to have some of the brown involved I'll show you the two that I know three that I did earlier and you guys can let me know Which ones you Like the best and what we should go for so so these foam pumpkins came from Amazon and I'll Get the link for you They come with just white already, but I was like, why should I bother Wasting time painting them because you can't really spray paint Boom if they're gonna come as a color and I don't have to do anything so I went with the brass or bronze colored Don't worry dust off your shirt. I didn't even notice. Okay, so here's the one color one It has just the one shade of aqua in it and the glitter glass Here's the two tone. It's got the dark Aqua and then the light aqua and Some glitter and glitter glass and then I have this To color one which I got some of that focus. No, cool. I got some of that Um Coppery glitter on the inside. Oops Thanks you guys over at stone coat. It's awesome to have you guys join in and jump on a live with us. Sorry. It's not resin, but Love it. Thank you guys If you guys don't know our Resonant of choice is stone coat art coat and the guys up there were Nice enough to hop in and see what I'm doing today. So Yeah So two tone blue seems to be the go-to And so that's what we'll do so now I'm gonna start with the darker color And that color is called something turquoise phthalo and it's an airbrush or fluid from golden Looks like this Okay It's that color So i'm just gonna push Hello, i'm just gonna push the air on and not use any color just to blow off some of this Extra foam that's in here if you're using airbrush You want to do this first because if you start going in with color and then the parts little Loose ones start blowing away, then it's gonna leave white spots Do you want any loose ones to just? Not be there If you're doing the paintbrush use a really watered down uh acrylic I wouldn't use spray paint because spray paint eats foam Okay, so let's just do this outside area This is the dark color so i'm gonna put it on the outside It's a lot easier to do this with airbrush, but Obviously not everybody has an airbrush, so it's perfectly fine to use An acrylic wash I would Definitely recommend making it a wash instead of trying to go in I smelly just got some out there, but I think I like that just of dark color It's perfectly acceptable to use acrylic just make sure it's watered down so you don't Um start brushing away any of the loose Hey carol, what's up Megan? Thank you guys for coming in and seeing what I'm up to today. I know it's not our usual resin but I thought it would be something cute for the season And I thought something you guys could do at home with your family and friends Little art night never hurt nobody I can't remember what I was saying, but I think I didn't finish my sentence about using thick acrylics. It's just going to Make all of your little foam pieces come loose in your pumpkin, so If you can use a wash if you don't have an airbrush do not use spray paint I found out the hard way what happens when you put spray paint in A foam cup and I think it was on a live too I wouldn't be surprised if it was on a live a lot of the things that happened in my life Are on live feeds Take this a long Kind of drip of color I like it. It looks like this pumpkin is like smiling at me Almost in a creepy way, but maybe not. Maybe it's just my charnalia So i'm gonna make some areas a little bit darker Because anytime you can vary the color In a piece it's gonna look More awesome Depth is key no matter what kind of medium you're using And i'm out of paint which is fine because we got that part done. So Now i'm gonna add the second color which is called something teal That's good. It's a good name for this color This color is really kind of a light milky Aqua And it looks like this. It almost matches my shirt, but it's a little bit more blue Okay, so that's the two colors next to each other One of those to kind of look like it's glowing and may have to mix some white It's too stagnant between the two colors. So i'm going to drop some of that first Turquoise phthalo into this little bit of aqua have left to make Kind of a two-tone color You can see the two different tones in there. Jeff taught me I know so they are the wedding colors which makes my heart so happy I'm going to use this trick that Jeff taught me to mix up the two colors You just plug this and then pull back So It almost looks like the exact same color as the dark one, but that's fine. We'll just kind of be light with the application to blend them in And I'm trying to like come down in different areas And go back in some areas maybe that inside areas darker Yep You make your makeup that way I have yet to get um Any kind of good at Airbrush makeup on myself Not that I've done it on a person But I feel like it'd be easier for me to do on a person then myself Now that I got That cleaned out This is what we got so You guys like the Dark aqua glitter or no seems like we burned one last year. Oh a solder gun You could um use a soldering gun, but uh or Like a hot knife Just be very very careful with anything like that G UD So Here's our pumpkin so far. Oh, I hello. Hello everyone Oh, I thought we were frozen for a second. We're good Also, it seems kind of choppy So Here we are with our aqua pumpkin So I'm gonna get a new trash brush because I've fully trashed this one Whoops, but lucky for everybody I ruined a lot of brushes. What's up Jerry? Meow I'm gonna pour out Some of our sizing liquid or glue This is just the only liquid glue I have So feel free to use whatever kind of glue you have at home I wouldn't use a spray adhesive because I don't know if that would eat the Thank you I thought they would Accentuate each other. Well, I would even almost like take like bronze Well like a bronze or a maybe even a gold like oh, I like that just so that it kind of pops it Yeah, it's really good Let me since I already have those glue started Do this and then we'll do that Now I'm just kind of dabbing on this sizing or adhesive or glue And for this part, I'm just going into the areas that I want the glitter Because While the glit great super there's red on my this but that's fine Just going into the areas that I want The glitter even though There's going to be some glitter that goes rogue anyways and just sticks wherever it wants to that's fine It may just look good that way Like I always say there's a beauty in imperfections So I'm also trying to kind of vary the Thickness of the line that I'm adding the glitter to I want it to be kind of thick in some areas Kind of thin in some areas. I want to get not right there I want to get into the crevices and I don't want to have a straight line and at any point At any point I want to have Some depth 100% of the time and nothing that's just Normal or straight or You know what I mean Straight lines are a rarity in nature So some of the airbrush color is coming off onto my brush, which is fine because it's trash brush anyways I don't think you'll have that issue if you use acrylic paint But if you do use acrylic paint, you're going to have to wait a little bit longer for it to dry Just be advised Some of the red color from whatever was on this paintbrush already Is coming off Onto my this But that's fine Because we're about to color it. I mean cover it all in a glitter anyways, right? Right Okay, now that we have the areas We want glitter on it sticky I'm going to put a piece of paper down so we don't Waste anything JK I found a paper plate Okay So for this part you can use whatever kind of glitter you want I am using Something color flex Uh, the name is Salty Salty, so I'm just going to sprinkle it on the areas that I know I want the glitter Which would be this rim area Hi, Lord Taylor. How are you doing? How are your eyes seeing my this does it look beautiful because you had new eyeballs? Going to tell myself that yes Your new eyeballs love my copper aqua patina Geo pumpkin I could have probably just go ham and Just put the glitter everywhere in it and then Dust it it off, but I'm trying to keep it from going into the center But if you want in the center Go for it go ham. Okay. I'm just going to dust off the bottom part first In my head it will Yeah I wanted to do that first so when I dump this upside down all of the glitter that we first put in Doesn't get into that center area What's that Evelyn? The bad thing about sizing like I'm using is that it goes clear when it's ready to use which is also probably I guess maybe a good thing, but Just makes it hard to see where I've been You know what I mean jelly beans The cool thing about these pumpkins doing them like this is it's so easy To do them and they always look so awesome and unique Bam, what do we think so far? If I had a lighter color of glitter Of aqua, I would put it in the center But I don't so We're just going to use Glitter glass because you can't really go wrong with glitter glass anyways If you guys are new here, I'm a glitter glassaholic. It looks like this Oh, I didn't know that bag was open man. I'm glad I didn't throw this Derp glitter glassaholic Just so we should make that a shirt and I am inclined to agree Okay, so just like with the glitter we're just going to stipple or rough paint the adhesive in there Obviously don't get too rough with it because you'll start picking up little bits of your pumpkin Be right here. I have some foam It's not going to focus because that's my life, but there's foam. There's foam on there We're just going to stipple this in into any area that we want the glitter glass if you guys don't know Glitter glass is a super fine Awesome shards of glitter They are very sharp. So maybe if you're doing this with the kids stick to glitter regular glitter And if you're having an adult craft night Don't drink too much wine before Yeah, don't drink too much wine before applying said glitter I always like doing stuff like this when I'm around my family like last time I went home for Christmas And we decided to get crafty We did those ornaments From judy Oh, we did do cakes one time. I failed But we did do cakes one time. We tried to do um mirror glaze cakes Super fail, but super fun So this sizing it does go clear when it dries whatever kind of glue you use just make sure it goes clear when you dry It or you're gonna Be really bummed Where's home for you? So Home is wherever my family is it is currently in Dallas that's where myself and my husband live I still love saying that and then um And now I'm dork and then my mom lives in alabama World-tide And then my sister is in the military. Jessica. She lives Right now where she's stationed in colorado And then I have another sister that lives in washington state And then I have a brother that lives in frisco And then another brother and a sister that live in iceland We are from everywhere. Oh Crystal points would look good on the teeth as teeth. Unfortunately. I am out But I just got notification that I should have just resonant on wednesday and color passion in on Monday So excited about that. I'm putting a little bit of adhesive up into the glitter areas so that we get some glitter glass there too Listen glitter glass is always an option. I don't care who you are. It just is Also, we've worked out a solution so that we won't end up with so much of a paint shortage in our shop So thank you to everybody that's been patient with us while we get restocked It hasn't been easy. Okay. So now we're all sticky everywhere I mean the pumpkin is I'm I mean, I'm not I mean, I have a little bit of sticky on my hands. Anyways Let's get a new This Yay, we'll use this one Iceland is so beautiful Okay Now if you haven't seen glitter glass before it looks like this You can get it from me at artist till death dot com or you can get it from meyer imports dot com use code atd 2022 for a discount and you can use the code atd or Artistic painting studio dot com If you want the adhesive sizing Atd for artistic Painting studio atd 2022 for meyer imports glass. Okay So as you can see this glass is very fine It's super thin and the reason why it sparkles is because it's basically catching light in all different directions So essentially all the different pieces are different facets that reflect light in different ways and it always looks beautiful and elegant without being like Oh, it's glitter Some people think glitter is a little crafty and depending on the project i'm working on I tend to agree However Glitter glass is always an elegant look And you can make glitter look elegant too. I'm not saying that no hate on glitter If you need to be canceled for anything nowadays, you got to be careful If I get canceled because of glitter I'm gonna be pissed I'm just going to shake it up in there And I roll it about Sounds like it's sticking really well. It looks like it's sticking really well And I always do glitter or glitter glass or anything that I'm gonna Be frugal about over a plate or piece of paper or something to where I can catch the fall out and then use the rest of it later That's what we look like I almost feel like it's missing something but also maybe not But what do you think so these little white bits that are in here will Dry clear and you'll see more of that bright aqua background It's the same aqua that I use on this one. You can see that this Is a lot better. It's a solid color and just a couple areas where it's still White on the inside So this will do much the same so Let's just put this right Oh geez that was way too zoomed in So all this white stuff up here is glue that hasn't dried yet. So all that will dry clear It looked like this pumpkin's laughing at me. I feel like it is I think it looks good Let's go see the ones that I did last year Actually just recently found them. So we'll put them right here Oh, that's a Christmas ornament Never mind on that one. I just did white on the inside of this one Wait a minute. I put fire glass on the inside of that one too Then I did this Big one Happy Halloween everybody I'm gonna have to do another one with gold leaf on the inside. I think that looks pretty cool Are you going to do the gold airbrush that Jeff suggested? um Hand paint that Or airbrush airbrush it I'm always so nervous when I airbrush, okay You want to do it? And we're working on this one too. Does it look like A mouth with an eye I feel like it would make that sound Okay so Jeff suggested using this color This is cretex airbrush Hurlized something hurl satin gold Should I put some water in this for you B? Or is it um Is it okay if it's a little on the thicker side? Yeah, I think it is Not quite as runny So what Jeff's talking about is adding a highlight essentially of gold to These areas of the pumpkin These can I do that for you? This is very thick paint so If it does we'll just glue it back in what on the back and just see what sure What are your real pumpkin plans? You know, I have no idea what I'm actually going to do with those actual pumpkins I thought about just doing a glitter Look to it What is because it's shiny what if you just dusted it on and made it all kind of It's just very subtle, which is what I was wanting. Yeah, I mean there's a difference What's that dainty doer? I'm so glad you caught another live as well so Jeff's just bringing a highlight onto the peaks of each one of these What Why do I want to say pumpkin folds, but that doesn't sound right bridge Swamper So there's a highlight to the ridge because yellow plays off the aqua color really well And it'll actually make our aqua color stand out a little bit better It kind of gives it more detail layers and depth people layers and depth So this first one was an accident and I was like, I really like that look That boots Yeah, that looks good Do we go all the way around already? It's just very subtle That gum that was quick, but he says hi Love him I apparently have decided it's a him so Accents are usually best parts. I agree like if I had time to get crazy crafty with it I would probably airbrush some dark into these cracks With maybe the He's got a burnt umber That might work Maybe the brown oxide Or the red oxide It would look like the other that smiley one The dark I have on this one is red iron oxide and brown iron oxide So it looked like a one-eyed Jim Henson character All right So I love it. I hope you guys do too if you are interested in Getting um these pumpkins foam pumpkins I'm gonna add them to my Um amazon shop, which you can find down in the description box poop poop poop I'm gonna add the exact ones that I got which I think are these Yeah, so 16 dollars for the plain white ones or also 16 dollars for the bronze colored ones So I'm gonna add them I thought I was gonna add them to my this Okay, y'all look at this till I get this figured out Jason Momoa knows Okay, I can't figure out my password, but I'll have it linked As soon as I get off the live, but these are the pumpkins.
